We’ve had another great day ... we are currently in Hoi An and have had a busy day of photography and memorable experiences. Today I have combined more images from yesterday and today.

One of today’s highlights was spending some time in a small village just outside of Hoi An, where we visited and had lunch at families rice farm. After lunch they took us into their rice fields so we could learn and photograph what it takes to successfully grow and harvest rice. Complete with their water buffalo working the field it was amazing. Thank you Tan for inviting us into your home for this experience. This evening we went back into Hoi An for dinner and some night photography opportunities.

Tomorrow we head back to the local airport and fly to Ho Chi Minh City and then drive into the Mekong Delta.

Enjoy this evenings selection of images and good night from all of us in Hoi An.
